best answer to anyone that helps

Pregnancy prevention??
Sadly, nothing is 100%. All condoms have failures every now and again, which is why it's always best to use two methods.





Your mom doesn't control whether or not you can be on the Pill, YOU do. If you live in the US or Canada you can go to a Planned Parenthood and get birth control and women's health care (pap smears, STD tests, etc) for free if you are under 18. Many work on a sliding scale if you are over 18.





If you are comfortable enough with your body (mainly putting a finger or two inside of you) and REALLY concerned about what your mom would thing, you may want to look into the NuvaRing. It's a ring inserted in your vagina near the cervix (you do not feel it) for 3 weeks at a time. Continue to use condoms (as, like I said, two methods really are best) even if you do go on it.





I would also recommend talking to your mom again about it. If she knows you're having sex remind her it's not her body, her life, or her consequences if you end up pregnant. Then state that you do want to go on the Pill to be responsible and protect yourself.
Reply:condoms??? abstinence??
Reply:If you are the legal age for sex, you may be able to talk to your doctor or local family planning clinic about preventative measures.





But if you are under age, you are risking a lot more.





The fact that you're asking this question and you mention your 'Mom' makes me think that you are not old enough.
Reply:use a different condom for every sexual activity your in
Reply:yes cross your legs. very cheap and effective
Reply:why is your mum saying you cant go on the pill... Talk to your mum, ask her why and tell her what you think she may not like it but will understand why you want to take it..


All comdoms are ot 100%. but if you cant go on the pill just be very careful.
Reply:this may sound corny but the only 100% prevention is abstinence. Just a word of advice don't EVER double condoms thinking they will work twice as good. that actually increases the chances of the condoms breaking.





Your best bet would be to talk to your mother about it more...is she aware you are already sexually active?
Reply:No offense, but your Mom is both naive and stupid too. Check your local listings in the phone book for Planned Parenthood... as long as you're 16 (depending upon what state you live in), they can hook you up with a birth control prescription.





Condoms have an alarmingly high failure rate. What you need to do is to avoid sex within five to seven days of ovulation (when you can get pregnant). The downside is that's when you'll also (naturally), be the most horny, but if you don't want to deal with an unwanted pregnancy, Mama knows best!
Reply:try ABSTINENCE... that's the best pregnancy prevention... you'l have no worries if you use that...
Reply:If you are so young, you need your mothers permission to take the pill, try ABSTINENCE. Best birth control on the market. Besides, anything you can buy on strret corners is probably illegal.
Reply:Depending on your age, you may be able to get the Pill without your mothers consent! bwhaha!





A few of my friends did this...just go to the local doctors with a friend, or relative, it shouldnt be too expensive either.





And good for you for thinking about your actions! Your mother should be happy she has a responsible daughter, although its probably really hard for her to accept youre growing up (probably a little faster than she anticipated). So give your mother time and good luck :)
Reply:You should be able to get the pill without your parents consent. If you don't want them to find out though, you will have to pay for it in full and go to 'Planned Parenthood' to get it. Your regular doctor may do it, but they may charge you for the visit too. If you feel you need to be on birth control, tell your mom that. If you are old enough to have sex, you are old enough to talk to your mom about it. I know you don't like that answer, but would you rather talk to her about getting on the pill, or how you are going to take care of a baby? You can also try to complain of horrible menstrual cramps. Doctors love to put you on birth control to regulate it. It might work. Of course my cramps were really bad, like I'd spend all day curled up on the bathroom floor napping til I had to puke of take a hot bath. My body couldn't handle the walk to my bed and back. Good luck! Oh and if the condom does break, look into the morning after pill. Also read a little about ovulation. Find out when you're ovulating, and avoid sex then. It's not definite it won't happen at another time, but your chances are better of not getting pregnant if you are aware of your most likely times to get pregnant.
Reply:Durex condoms. I use the extra thin ones, they are good and have never failed on me.
Reply:Firstly well done for using protection, try asking ur mom how she would feel if u became pregnant because she wont let u go on the pill, this might shock her into letting u go on the pill, good luck
Reply:Sit down and talk to your mom. Tell her your choosing to have sex and you want to get on the pill. I really dont think she wants you to get pregnant. If anything go to your local health clinic. Talk to your school counselor. Depending on your laws and your school. You maybe able to get free BC. I would go to the store and get condoms..not the ones in the machine. Other than that you should consider not having sex. Unless you are married and in love. How old are you?
Reply:If you are the legal age to have sex, i suggest you make a trip to your local pharmacy or parenting clinic and ask to be put on the pill. They should give you the pill for free. Hide it from your mom. It sounds sneaky but its much much better than the consequences of getting pregnant. Im sure your mother would much rather you were on the pill than pregnant.
Reply:You need to sit down and have a heart to heart with your mom. Tell her that you're an intelligent, mature, beautiful young lady. Let her know that youre growing up, and that you need to start making intelligent decisions. Let her know that you need to schedule an appointment with the doctor to discuss birth control options, as you don't want to make her a grandma just yet. (That should get her attention)





If you cannot do that, then I advise you to seek out your nearest planned parenthood.





Use the condom with the pill to increase your chances of not becoming pregnant.





Remember, there's nothing that is 100 percent. You can still get pregnant on the pill. If you seriously are not ready for the possibility of a child, then you might want to rethink having sex, and wait until a time when you and your partner are more prepared for the unexpected.





I truly wish you the best of luck. Seriously, you should convince your mom that you know what's best for your body, especially if you are having sex.
Reply:You don;t say your age, but if your mom won't let you have the pill, you must be pretty young. but if your going to,play like a adult, you have to prepare yourself for it, and not depend on your boyfriend, if you do get pregnant, he will most likely move on to the next girl while your stuck to deal with everything else. once you sign up for it, you can't quit...EVER!.. If your young, most of the fathers don't hang around for long, I could go on forever, but that's not your question, so to answer yours, I would talk to your mom again, not giving you protection, will not stop you from having sex. Ask her to take you to your doctor, be honest, and let him or her help you decide the best method for you, (there are many to choose from) and really, don't ever take any chances, if you don't have anything to use, scream NO! it only takes one time and its not fair to anyone when a baby has a baby!!especially the newborn baby. good luck, show your mom your question and answers, she;s afraid for you, we sometimes like to pretend the problem isn't there, that's because we are all human, oh and also, make him use two condoms, if the first one breaks, the second one might catch the sperm, be careful it doest"t slip off though, just be careful anyhow sweetie!
Reply:You can look in the phone book or call information and find your city's Health Department. They have a womens section where based on your age and income you can get birth control for free. You don't need your mom, and they don't give you a prescription you have to fill either. They will do a pap smear and a pregnancy test and then determine what kind of birth control is best for you. Then they will give you a few months supply right there in the office. Believe me, if you are going to be sexually active, you cannot rely just on condoms. I did, and I got pregnant when I was 17. So look into your options.
Reply:No need, after menses first 12 days are very safe..
